SAVE YOURSELF – SAVE THE MOTHER EARTH

Dear Citizens,

In continuation of the spirit of ESWARA's 35th Lecture in the

Series in Ancient Indian Sciences organized on this year's EARTH DAY

on 22nd April at Dr. B.R.Ambedkar Open University, we wish to remind

people of various strata in the society about the urgent need to

change our attitude towards ourselves and the Mother Earth. According

to the Indian culture we remember our mothers and Mother Earth every

moment of the day and every day of the year and not once in a year.

Whatever religion, caste or land we belong to, whether we are theists

or atheists, we have to save the internal Panchabutas (Earth, Water,

Fire, Air and Space) of our body and external Panchabhutas (Air,

Water and Land - Fire and Space being immune to pollution), making up

the world. The Once attractive slogan " Industrialize or Perish " has

now turned in to a curse " Industrialize and Perish " .

Let us not allow the Mother Nature to be destroyed in

the name of indiscriminate " development " promoted by vested

interests. With the so called development and a changing lifestyle,

pollution is mounting. The Earth is getting hotter. Forests are

dwindling. Deserts are spreading. Glaciers are melting. Dangerous

changes are coming in the climate. The consequences are draughts,

floods, cyclones, epidemics etc. The worst sufferers are going to be

the poor people and poor countries. Let us not leave a horrendous

future for our dear children and grand children. Thought pollution is

the root cause of all pollutions. Unless we change our mindset no

pollution measures can solve the problem. Let us change our

lifestyle. Wake up! Let us do as many things as possible in the list

below (or make your own list) and save ourselves and the Mother Earth

from an impending disaster.

 

Protection of the Self

 

The Human body is like a temple. We need to keep the body and mind

healthy by keeping the internal Panchabhutas in balance and free from

pollution. We need to change our attitude towards life. We need to

control our greed for money making and merry making. We need to cut

down on lavish living and wastage of resources. We need to avoid

thought pollution. We need to live in friendship with Nature. We need

to control our jealousy and hatred towards fellow beings. We need to

avoid crowded places, harsh lights, harsh sounds and an erotic

lifestyle, to live a healthy and peaceful life. We need to avoid

refined and treated foods. We need to cut down on unnecessary

shopping. House holders need to cut down on eating out. We need to

restore the best of ancient Indian culture to combine with the best

of modern living. We need to respect our elders, serve them, cheer

them up and imbibe their wisdom. When we spare a little time, money

and energy to the service of the less privileged people in the

society, we will be immensely happy and peaceful.

 

Protection of the Nature

 

We need to protect our earth, water and air at any cost. It is

dangerous for India to plan its development on the Western model. We

need to develop our country based on our nearly 1.2 billion

population and problems of the majority of people, particularly those

below the poverty line. We need to cut down our own contribution to

the destruction of Nature. We need to avoid wastage of precious

energy resources. We need to cut down on individual transport and opt

for world class public transport system. We need to cut down our

movement and unnecessary travel. The city dwellers should avoid

polluting the rural and tribal areas. We need to cut down on the use

of vehicles, electric and electronic gadgets to the extent possible.

Governments and Scientists obsessed with high technology cannot find

solutions for the global warming. Only natural and simple solutions

involving minimum technology can save us and the Mother Earth. India

backed by the brilliant Vedic wisdom can be a world leader in

fighting pollution.
